If a convicted defendant did not qualify to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court

but appears to qualify on appeal, trial counsel must see that the defendant completes CJA Form 23

(for an incarcerated defendant) or Fed. R. App. P. Form 4 (for a defendant not incarcerated) and

files it in the district court. The forms are available from the district court clerk and this court's

web site.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
